National Lottery UK?

Question

Who was the 1st ever Lottery winner winner and how much did he/she win, and when was it?

Answer 1

Saturday 11th March 1995, where a top-up of an additional £4m to the jackpot prize pool allowed 2 winners to claim £6.5m each (one of which was Lee Ryan, who was sentenced to 18 months in prison for handling stolen luxury cars prior to his win !)

Coliwog :D

The UK's first National Lottery was actually way back in 1569 would you believe, but it eventually died out, only to be resurrected as an annual event between c. 1750 and 1826. Ever since then, it's not been possible to buy a National Lottery ticket here in the UK until the launch of the current UK National Lottery on Monday 14th November 1994. Why ? Well, I blame the soccer pools companies for putting pressure to preserve their status as the only way of winning more than a million pounds in this country. It's total madness that we were denied a National Lottery in the UK for 168 years because of this - even Albania has got one !
